DVD burning info requested
Alright, so I went and bought a DVD burner and the software that came with it is complete and utter crap.
Can anyone recommend any DVD burning/video editing software??
Keep in mind I'm working with the equivalent of a 3rd grade education and my dog is my in-house tech support.

Well I would def recommend Roxio CD & DVD Creator 6
www.roxio.com
If your looking to make "back up" copies of Motion picture dvd's Grab a Decss ripper, and pick up Pinnnacle Systems DVD Instant Copy they have some great compression codec's to fit a 8gb dvd into a 4.3gb disk, also allow's you to take out gay previews, and DVD copy protection warnings and stupid special features. It's so nice to watch a movie without having to watch all that bullshit If your really into making backup copies go to www.netflix.com
www.pinnaclesys.com
and of course the best video editing software u can get is Adobe Premire.

I've used Sonic MyDVD, which is ok, if you want your dvd to fit in 6 chapters or less, with 4 cheesy menu options.
I have the Adobe Video Collection as well, but I can't quite say anything too positive about it yet (I haven't used it but for one dvd, which took a week to get working)... There's lots you can do with it, but making a simple dvd from an analog recording was an overcomplicated process. Not to mention the 6 hour transcoding time. (every time the program crashed had to re-transcode it).
I suppose it depends on what you want to rip, and how much time/money you want to invest.
I suppose if you had a million computers like Ting, waiting 6 hours would be no big deal.

LOL, My SonicDVD is the POS software I was refering too.
I had to start transcoding before I went to bed and the dam thing would freeze up 9 times out of 10.
I'm getting a copy of Roxio CD & DVD Creator 6 from the companies off site tech guy. He's got quite a collection of "off site back-up" copies of software. No Adobe premier though.
Thanks for the heads up on the freeware Killets.

yea, aenslaed brings up a good site, www.doom9.org (doom9.net points to the same place?)
its so popular, they translated it into like 18035081 languages. its one of the best "how-to" guides on how to convert movies between different formats, and how to do it well.
another great site is www.dvdrhelp.com. that's one of the best sites imo. they also have a lot of hardware surveys if you plan to buy new stuff. the dvd-r/+r media survey is great, but i just buy ritek 4x dvd-r's now, which are pretty much the best in reliability and compatibility. (but if your dvd-r and dvd player work great with cheap-ass princo or something, do that).
another great feature on dvdrhelp.com is the dvd player compatibility. it tells you what players can play what media. these days, most of the new dvd players support 90% of the formats, but back in the day, it was really useful.
if you're making videos, don't forget virtualdub, the best freeware movie editting software out there. not sure if it ships with mpeg2 though.

Glad I noticed this topic... warning newbface question ahead...
Bought a Pioneer DVD copier the other day from Future Shop. Came with Nero and I bought a stack of 4.7 GB +r DVD ...
Fire up Nero, pop movie DVD in and copy from DVD to Image Recorder ... about 6 minutes later it's copied to disc/temp file I assume? Then pop in 4.7 GB blank +r DVD and it whines that there isn't enough space on the disc.
Checking out dvdhelp site now but any posts appreciated to help this newbface out.
